He may have only just scored at Turf Moor against the England B side a couple of weeks ago but Besart Berisha is coming back, not to wear the Albania strip but the Claret and Blue for Burnley as the 21-year old striker joins Burnley for £340,000 in a three-year deal from Hamburg SV.

Albanian International striker, Besart Berisha, who featured in last month's England B international and scored their only goal at Turf Moor has joined the Clarets for a fee of around £340,000.
Having started his professional career at Hamburg SV until his move today. He has only played in 9 league games and scored one league goal, he has also scored in a Champions League game. However, he has spent time away on loan and at AC Horsens, scored 11 in 32. Berisha was born in Kosovo but moved to Germany when he was young. Last year he successfully applied for Albanian citizenship and made his international debut against the Netherlands in October. An impressive show at Turf Moor month and his only goal may have attracted Cotterill to the 21-year old striker. We've signed two players now and while the Saganowski rumours may not be true with Southampton looking likely to sign to sign the striker, it looks like Steve may still have a few more signings to come before the start of the season. Welcome to Burnley Besart! England B v Albania goal: |

StumbleuponLooked a very good player in the "B" game.
Berisha to Burnley
He was very quick and tricky.
Hopefully we've just signed a new crowd favourite.
He will if he doesn't have dual nationality and he hasn't played many games for Albania.
Does that count?
Berisha: "I held positive talks with the management at Burnley and I had a good feeling about the move." HSV were demanding 500,000 Euro for him.
Don't know if that counts as dual nationality or a dual passport.
It's irrelevant anyway if he's been in Germany for 13 years. There's no way his clubs wouldn't have naturalised him even if he hadn't done it beforehand himself.
It's all there on the net, but basically you'd need a WP if you were from outside the EU.
